Chapter 7 - The World Disaster: The Unnamed Minotaurs

Leo who was marching toward the minotarus couldn't help but think, {๐‘ช๐’‚๐’'๐’• ..... ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’'๐’• ๐’˜๐’Š๐’ ๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’Š๐’๐’”๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’‚๐’• ๐’•๐’‰๐’Š๐’๐’ˆ.}As he was about a hundred of meters away from the minotarus he instinctively felt that he couldn't win.ย

{Those who fought against it all had some strong skills like physical enhancement,speedโ€ฆ.,but they are not enough to even put up a fight with it let alone defeat it, that was not because those skill were weak,but they just couldn't wield them to their full ability. They had only gained this superhuman strength for a day at best,some of them may have never fought in their lifes, so even if they were given this power they couldn't use even 10% of it .Unlike me, who had gained a skill that doesn't strength my physical abilities, instead it gave me something else that all the above had needed, that is experience, skill and the right mentality when facing dangers. Although gaining this was hard, if not for my other skill (calm) ,I might have gone crazy,from hak's intent and experience }.ย 

Hak's physical skills, especially spear technique had not reached the supernatural level, but even so his level of skill, wouldn't show up in modern time no matter how mush one had trained.ย 

His skill had been trained since a young age, through the battlefield, battles of life and death were as common as breathing at that time, one wouldn't even know when his head would flew in the battlefield, and here we are not talking about someone who just survived, but someone who had ranked up enough to became a general,this show how much high his skill were.ย 

His general title didn't came from his smart mind and good war tactics ,instead it come from his might, although he wasn't a fool as well, his level of leadership and commanding wasn't that bad as well.ย 

his fighting style always brought high moral to his comrades, while terror to his enemies.ย 

As I moving forward,the minotarus in front of me stopped, not only him, after looking back, I found everyone else stopped.ย 

I realised then that it was not that they stopped, but time itself stood still, with only me able to move freely.ย 

Just as I was about to move forward to kill the monster, I saw its eye moved toward me ,meaning it wasn't fully stopped.ย 

But that wasn't why I stopped moving,instead it was because of the screen that appeard in front of me .ย 

[World system notice : Warning! moving forward would erase the time stopping phenomena.]ย 

"Sigh", { and what should have I expected ,there is no way such an easy way to defeat that thing could exist. }, As I was in my thoughts another notice appeardย 

[would you like to fight against (star-R-007 agent, "world destroyer".), if you accept, you will gain temporary some skills of the guardian class, and information about the entity before you. Would you like to accept (yes?) (no?)]ย 

"Yes!", I choose 'yes' without hestient. I already know everything about this,after all. I heard this happened to all those who tried to fight. atleast those who survived and run, said so.ย 

After choosing, new information appeard in front of me.ย

"He is also physically strong even without that anti-WEAPONS OF CIVILIZATION skill he could surely tank most of modern weapon with his endurance alone except for heavy things like tanks and atomic bomb.....sigh...15 strength.....10 agility "ย 

As far as I understand 1 in strength is basically 1T of strength in the basic state, so 15 in strength is equal to having 15 T of strength at least .ย 

On the other hand 1 agility is equal to 20 meters per second or 72 km/h ,which means 10 is equal to 720km/h,an absurd speed level for a humonied creatures.ย 

Other status like stamina and endurance, I don't know how to calculate them ,but they are surely absurd as it's other physical status.ย 

In the world system's store there is strenghthing potions from level 1 to level 5 and that's the end.ย 

After drinking the level 1 you need to wait 4 hours.level 2, a day.3th,two days .4th 5 days.5th and the last need a whole week, But Even if they were all drank, they wouldn't make one able to go above the physical level of this minotaurs, not to mention that there is no time for that.ย 

by the time someone could drink the level 5 potion, all human on earth would have died from the world eroding aftermaths.ย 

So the only option to survive is to get ride of the this monster, butโ€”{ Now is not time to think of this,now I should put all my focus in slowing it down until all the cars are refiled, and surviving as well.},As I thought of this, I saw some Letters in the air, that I was waiting for all this time.ย 

[As individual Leo had accept the quest of defeating the world's enemy,he thus will be given a temporally access to some skills of the guardian class]ย 

[Class had been added to the status screen ]ย 

[Class guardian is temporally BESTOWED ]ย 

[(ANTI-world authority: reality modification) is acquired]ย 

Immediately after that,the time stopping phenomenon had gone.ย 

as that happened a gust of wind had gone past my face, and sounds start to be heard again.ย 

{ althought this is good and all But I still have the problem of weapon,how should I get through it? },As I was thinking I heard the minotaurs's approaching footsteps sounds, then I instinctively held the metal pipe in my hand and used [reality modification].ย 

As I did that a blue and green aura that represents earth's natural color engulfed the pipe, Then something good and unexpected happened.ย 

[Due to being in touch with {reality modification} 's aura ,the metal pipe had gained temporarily the indestructible trait]ย 

"For real?...that's great, then would this work as well ?" Before the minotaurs reach me, I quickly took the ancient spear that was strapped to my back and as excpected โ€”[The ancient spear had gain temporarily, the indestructible trait ]ย 

"Yoooosh! Yahhhho, haha-hahaha, with this I have gain more confident in this fight"

As I said that, it was already swinging its huge axe toward me.ย 

knowing how strong he was, I was not foolish enough to compare strength with him.so I put the spear in front of me as it resisted the axe's weight, but I didn't put a lot of strength in doing so.ย 

the axe and the spear clashed.

clang~!

crack~!ย 

At that moment I wasn't sure if it was real or just my illusion that I heard a thunder and breaking glass sound.ย 

A moment later I was sent about ten meter back,but I wasn't hurt a lot since I jumped back to lessen the damage I felt.ย 

Instead of putting effort in resistance, that will make me take a stronger hit,I let him send me flying to lessen the shock .ย 

As my feet touched the ground ,I heard the sound of it running toward me.he swung the axe at me again when he reached a good distance.ย 

this time I only did take a steps back moving from the range of its attack, Even so, because of the overwhelming different in status ,I was a little late as a small scar appeard between my face and neck.ย 

Fortunately,it didn't cut some big vein otherwise I would have died from blood loss.ย 

dodging,dodging and dodging again, all I did was dodging his attacks one by one but I didn't came unscathed everytime.and as the time goes wounds start to fill my body.ย 

Dodging wasn't the only thing I could do, but because I had a realization I need to dodge to confirm it.ย 

as time goes less attacks hit me ,and there is also the fact that Hak's intent synchronizing rate is going up in a very fast rate.ย 

86%.....ย 

88%.....ย 

89%...ย 

when it reached 90% I was sure of my finding, { Earlier when I fought other monsters such as orcs,goblins..... although I found that their intelligent level is low ,but even so they did have some, But the minotaurs in front of me is different,he is moving more like a machine, his attacks getting easier to predict the more I fought him. His pattern of attack is almost the same with a very small different that's why I can even predicate where he will attack me next, before he did. }ย 

When I came to that concluding I suddenlyย  stopped dodging, As his axe came toward me from the left I swung my spear then deflected it toward the right.ย 

As I did that the previous phenomena that I thought was only my illusion happened again in a more spectacular way.ย 

Clang~ย 

As the spear and the axe clashed against each others.ย 

A straight line that goes directly from earth to the heaven divining the world into two appeard.Sound of glass breaking and thunder echoed in the surrounding.In addition to that, a strong blust of wind had hit the area moment after the colliding.ย 

"What the hell ....", Some soldiers and people who are in the town, couldn't help but loss strength in their legs as they feel down to the ground.ย 

"What is...that??"ย 

Regin who also freaked out a little,regained his senses, Seeing the sky that had being split into two colors,one brown and one blue.he said, "That's the clash of two world wills "ย 

"WORLD wills?"ย 

"Yes,or more specifically it's the clash of their authorities "ย 

As regin said it was the clash of the authority {Reality modification}, The minotarus is using R-007's authority to destroy earth's laws, then Re-write them into R-007's basic laws.ย 

On the other hand, Leo is using earth's authority to heal the world and destroy R-007's laws and restore it to what it used to be.ย 

In short one was healing earth,while the other one was destroying it.ย 

the brown color that is behind the minotaurs, and the blue color behind Leo is representing the struggle and the fight that is happen between these stars, earth and R-007.ย 

Leo who was in the middle of all this ,was also surprised by the dangerous but the also breathtaking view before him,that he even forgot to take advantage of the chance he made to at least take the minotaurs's eye.ย 

If Leo didn't know what is happening in front of him, he would have thought that a spacequake is happening, but this thought of him was intrupted by the roar of the monster, who had already held his axe above his head again as he slashed it toward him with the intent of splitting him in half.ย 

Realizing the danger, Leo side stepped to the right in hurry. After he fortunately made it in time to dodge the attack,his eye became serious.ย 

Then he stabbed the spearhead toward the face of the minotaurs, which the later dodged by leaning his head to the side.ย 

But all that was saw through by Leo, as the spear become like a snack and run toward where his right eye was exactly ,making the monster losing his sight.ย 

One would askย  "leo, since you can go as far as taking his sight ,why don't you just stab his neck and end this in one shot".The answer to that would be because he can't.ย 

The monster's defence is strong enough that my spear can't priced through it,that is what I had conformed after fighting him and looking at his stats.ย 

Even if i tried to stab him in places like the heart,head,or neck .all I would hear would be the sound of metal clashing with another metal, instead of the sound of my spear stabbing through his body.ย 

all I could do now is going at his weak point such as eye to lessen his mobility,then I can corner him for along time until all those I left in the town go away, or we find a strategy to defeat this monster.ย 

Roar!ย 

The minotaur roar in pain as he swung the axe in his hand randomly, that made his action easier to follow than before.ย 

Knowing that I can't defeat him ,even in his currently status, I could only save my stamina and fight him in a safer way, that was actually very easy after he lost his right eye.ย 

Moving forward I parried his axe. even so the weigh and the pressure had sent me slide across the ground .but As the time passed, as we fought I was sliding less and less as I parried his attacks In easier and skillfully way.ย 

The synchronizing rate also grow while we foughtย 

91%.....ย 

92%.....ย 

From then on we started our long duel,with the sound of our weapon clashing that resounded through the area.ย 

And a huge audiences behind, in the town.ย 

"A-amazing! ....."ย 

"How is he doing that?"ย 

"Did he already drank the fifth potion?"ย 

"That is impossible looking at the potion rules"ย 

"THEN how?,He is overwhelmed in every status be it strength,speed,endurance and stamina as well,but how could he fight and even put pressure on that thing? That is illogical no?"ย 

" what you had said is true in every status Leo is overwhelmed.but why is he looking stronger you asked ? that is because he can read the pattern of his enemy's attack .", Jack the vice captain of regin who had the skill :{eagle eye} said as he looked toward Leo's direction as he felt his blood boil from seeing such a fight.ย 

This may be the only time since he got this ability that he felt happy about it.ย 

Jack who used to hate the fact that his skill was not an attack type skill start to like his skill a bit.ย 

"He can read the pattern of the minotaur's attack?"ย 

"Yes he can read the pattern and the ryhtm Of its attack ,by doing that he can react to its attacks faster and make planes and strategies to use that knowledge to his advantage, by doing all that he can dodge and attack him even thought he was slower andย  weaker!" (jack)ย 

"Woow! Amazing I wonder what kind of skill he got to become this strong,also doesn't that mean that he can kill it?"ย 

"No he can't Although his skill is strong as long as his spear can't break its defence ,all he could do now is stalling it until he run out of stamina" Gin, a blond handsome soldier. said as he look toward regin and Jackย 

"But one thing I can't understand ?"(jack)ย 

"What?"ย 

"I can't guess what kind of skill he got,no that's not the real problem,no matter what skill he got, this kind of skill with the spear and mindset can't be brought by all the type of skills that I have saw before,at first I thought he had some thing like weakness or pattern detection ,but I found that even if he had one of those skills he can't really bring them to their true worth if he didn't have experience fighting for decades with the spear" When Jack finished talking a lot of his comrades were deep in their thoughts .ย 

"Really I can't guess "ย 

"Maybe intuintion skill?"ย 

"No! I don't think so, as far as I know, that would only help you dodge attacks and detect dangers, that's what I saw from one of my friend who awakened that skill"ย 

"Hmm then what?"ย 

Regin who was also thinking while holding Leo's father that had been wanting to run toward his son since a while ago, but stopped after seeing his son's fight, found that the time was not appropriate to think of this, "Hurry up idiots.now is not time for this, let's Evacuated quickly! lets to not waste the time Leo gained for us"ย 

""""""Yes,sir!"""""""".
